@popey I see it as of note. Wikipedia is also a record of history at this point. So it would be odd to delete it. If it has wrong sections you may push a "inaccurate" label onto it.
Don't think a full on deletion should ever happen here, however.
I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up.
@jakehamilton Another huge thing would be tiering the core and "extras" packages. Currently there is no great way to distinguish between core packages and loose fun packages inside nixpkgs. It would be nice to have it a bit more seperated and give a lot more focus to a good core.
@AngryAnt@jakehamilton Companies frustrate me to no end, and permissive licensing so often ends up being ultimately hurtful on the long game. See the history of the BSDs and Linux, and which won the world, and which has a lot of "extentions" from companies that never get formally up-streamed.
@AngryAnt@jakehamilton Not so much an "anti company" thing, but more so protecting Nix (or possibly Aux here) from further shenanigans down the line. It should be a thing for the community, by the community. We are not here to cater to companies every desire. The whole point of the fork is that Nix is too conflicted with its ties to companies like Audril and Determinate Systems now. Hence the more formalizing idea of using a GPL/copyleft license for the fork.
@soatok what I can't get past is the use of the word activism. Saying that the new force enabled AI scraping of your posts/blogs is a bad idea gets to the levels of activism? :blobfox0_0:
There's several ongoing efforts in various verticals that are all working to tackle this spam / nuisance wave. My patch was just one of the easier ones to apply.
At this point, it's a few kids in japan (where police have been given their information, because hi discord) versus a heap of organised and experienced technical and security folks.
We've half a dozen heuristics through which we can detect and tackle spam, and these will eventually make it into releases.
@thisismissem Honestly its a good kick in the butt to put some focus on getting features like greylisting and spam-wave-protection implemented in the various ActivityPub servers. One could almost say one is thankful for the push, its a decent reminder that its a featureset holding a lot of value to the Fediverse. :blobfoxfloofcofe:
I have been a Mac user since 1997 (with some Apple II experience when I was a child).
I made some living by being a Mac sysadmin for a few years.
I never felt so annoyed by Apple as I feel now. Things simply do not work. Most stuff are buggy. On the last 24h I found bugs in at least three apps (Watch, Music, Health). Synchronization works when it wants. Apps stop working.
@francis Hilariously, my new Samsung Fold has been nothing but perfect stability wise. Ignoring all the third-party terms-of-service agreements all the damn first party apps want you to sign.
I genuinely feel like Android is becoming the new IOS, just look at how sleek the new generation of Androids are, like the Google Pixels and OnePlus devices.
@hachyderm heya, running into the issue that GIF uploads aren’t processed a lot in the last few days, just a heads-up; I usually need to retry 3 or 4 times before it goes through. assume stuck worker or other queueing issue.
@AngryAnt You can do that, but nowadays it is much more common to use it to overclock your monitor.
Basically where you pull your EDID, use software like "AW EDID Editor" to change its timings. Then use the linux kernel to override the display port's EDID for any connected monitor.
I use this strategy to overclock my 100Hz monitor to 115Hz, for example.
little productivity thing for linux that i would like: terminal integration of the XDG (?) "Recent" folder. make it an actual Folder ~/Recent with links to the files, or a FUSE fs. i often have to integrate console and desktop tools and this would make it less painful.
@mntmn I have also created a l shortcut to print directories and pager print files for me.
I have also had the thought to create an edit shortcut that could open a wide variety of files for editing explicitly (nvim, gimp, audacity, etc). This however im uncertain if XDG can handle, and would require my own lookup table for mimetypes. :revblobfoxread:
